Automating Word in Javascript 1

[arst06d]

Hi

I want to open a document in Word, print it then close word. I have this working, but I want to make sure that the document is opened read-only - and I need some help with the syntax.

I vb I would:

dim oWord 
set oWord = createobject("word.application")
oword.documents.open "c:\mydocs\testdoc.doc",,true

the last parameter to the documents.open specifies that the doc is opened read-only


in javascript I have:

var oWord = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
oWord.Visible=true;
oWord.Documents.Open("c:\\mydocs\\testdoc.doc");
oWord.PrintOut(true);	
oWord.Quit();

I the javascript, it doesn't like having any additional parameters to the oWord.Documents.Open method

you have tried this already?

oWord.Documents.Open("c:\\mydocs\\testdoc.doc", false, true);

Hi
Thanks for that - it works fine. I had tried:

oWord.Documents.Open("c:\\mydocs\\testdoc.doc", , true);

which it didn't like.

I'm too used to vbscript being forgiving ...

Cheers
